ERROR: Could not find com.google.gms.google-services:4.2.0

Question

I am trying to add Firebase crashlytics to an existing project (not developed by me). I keep getting the error

ERROR: Could not find com.google.gms.google-services:4.2.0:.
Required by:
    project :
Search in build.gradle files

I have gone through all (or most ) of the solution that asks to add maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } and none of them work. I am getting the above error for all the solution.

Please not other projects that i have developed are working fine with same build.gradle but not sure why this project is giving me nightmare.

project level build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
        }

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'
        // Check for v3.1.2 or higher
        classpath 'com.google.gms.google-services:4.2.0'

        // Add dependency
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.28.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {

Answer 1

You have a typo in the classpath statement.

This

classpath 'com.google.gms.google-services:4.2.0'

should be

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
